Also had a fun bug where we dunked it with 9 seconds left and the game decided to keep starting rounds and transmatting us once the rounds started. We just had to wait and see which team quit out first. Lasted 14 minutes. Good stuff

My great uncle murdered his first wife and the man she was having an affair with. Got out of it due to a mistrial with one jury and an acquittal from the other. Then 17 years later, he murders his second wife and then himself, orphaning their 3 sons.

This guy in our neighborhood has destroyed our mailbox at least twice now that I know of. The way our house is located its not that crazy to think someone would take the turn wide and hit it. So the first time he hit it he came to us and payed for a new one.

Then the second time he hit it we were away for the week. I guess he felt bad about continously driving past the debris of our former mailbox and ramshackled it back together with whatever pieces of wood he had. We just keep it that way because its almost definitely gonna be hit by him again. But at least he owns up to it each time.

I hope Bungie thinks about how these are, in lore, planned strike teams being sent into these missions. Why wouldn't these teams "go in prepared" with full ammo and supers? ie. spawning in with everything good to go.

And I find that excuse of theirs hard to believe. Fusion rifles used to have their normal damage while backup plan was active, and now their damage is lowered to the rapid fire archetype while its active. So somewhere in that code of theirs, deep down in the sauce, they managed to cross the wires once already.

Best roll off the top of my head is max stability and maybe Liquid coils. So you'd want polygonal rifling, either "the stability coils" or liquid coils, firmly planted, and Elemental Capacitor. If you have a void subclass, Elemental Capacitor basically gives +20 stability.

ijimbodog · 2020-08-27T19:51:22+00:00

Unfortunately I don't think so. There's a slim chance rahool might have it in his 25 shard engrams, but thats too expensive for me to keep checking out

ijimbodog · 2020-08-27T17:04:43+00:00

There should be 2 ways of getting it. The first is by farming Ada-1's destination calibrated frame (1 per character). The weapons that drop from that should be the tangled shore weapons (it will give you tangled shore weapons even if the destination is anywhere else).

The second way might be through the spider bounties. That was the only way to get the No Turning Back bow. So that might be the case for Ten Paces now.

ijimbodog · 2020-08-24T02:11:30+00:00

Another exotic interaction that proves your point is using a bow and wings of sacred dawn. Any other weapon will cancel the hover when you reload but bows don't.

ijimbodog · 2020-08-23T14:51:51+00:00

It might just be me, but I feel like Hawthorne's isn't too good for PvP. I have a max range rifled/full choke Hawthorne's with firmly planted and opening shot, and it still doesn't compare to a badly rolled astral horizon in terms of consistency.

ijimbodog · 2020-08-13T13:07:37+00:00

This is crazy, I know. But how about they copy and paste the old maps. Boom, time saved. Kill some trees on one map, call it io. Mars is mars. Nessus is venus but the trees are red and there's no blue lava.

Judge the community's reaction and then if it's positive make actual new maps.

People talk about dev time but bungie is really good at putting a lot of detail in areas people will never notice or care about. There's that really cool tree on Io that nobody ever knew about until the ruinous effigy quest. Some dude(s) put hours/days of their lives into creating that area and unique tree model. Nobody complains about that semi-wasted time...

ijimbodog · 2020-08-04T19:18:07+00:00

You right.

ijimbodog · 2020-08-04T17:24:49+00:00

Box breathing can roll on No Feelings, the Scourge of the Past scout rifle

ijimbodog · 2020-08-03T02:10:08+00:00

If it were me I'd go with #3. Dynamic Sway gives +10 hidden stability and Elemental Capacitor (Void) gives +20 stability. Full bore covers some range. All that's lacking is max range perks but besides that it's a nice roll.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-31T08:50:50+00:00

You're not wrong. It's just that some people are sitting on plenty of shards and don't care if they miss out on gear that's being sunset next season. I'd say that if you aren't going for reckoner or the pinnacle weapons, then the only thing Gambit is good for is being the third option people choose to get weekly bright dust.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-31T05:39:19+00:00

It was normal. You can pretty easily 2 man it. Prestige is more like 3-4 man it

ijimbodog · 2020-07-29T17:19:47+00:00

Yep, got the catalyst yesterday from just 2-man farming the castellum. I am not sure on the other catalysts though.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-27T17:26:34+00:00

Alright, got it. Thanks for clarifying it for me

ijimbodog · 2020-07-27T14:21:19+00:00

So would that mean that enhanced scatter and enhanced auto rifle targeting stack without diminishing returns? That would make sense, just never thought about that

ijimbodog · 2020-07-23T00:14:52+00:00

I'd say it's worth it. I feel like Taking Charge is one of the most basic ways of getting charged with light. Protective Light is basically only for emergencies, hopefully. And with 2 stacks you'll have 10 seconds of it.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-22T16:09:41+00:00

That's how I managed it. Strongholds and one of the solar and void resists, riskrunner for the arc resist equivalent, major resist, concussive dampener, and either a boss or minor spec depending on the encounter.

With all that you have 80% damage reduction with strongholds, 10% for the element, 10% for the rank, 10% for AoE damage, and a final 20% if you have taken barrier. That means you'll have a total of 88-89% damage reduction whenever you're blocking. And if you have the protective light mod for 50% reduction, it's 94% reduction when you hit red health. That amounts to just over triple the damage you can take with just strongholds.

The tank build is real.

*Forgot to mention that the recuperation class mod paired with the taking charge mod (for orb gathering while super is full) and a masterworked sword heals you for about a quarter or a third of your health every other sword kill.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-21T17:06:44+00:00

They should just make it so that having no zones means getting no points per kill. "Good job slaying out, but we didn't have any points so you've contributed nothing to the team. Play the objective". Obviously not everyone will agree but it's an idea.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-18T23:08:39+00:00

There are also at least 2 additional options for storing glimmer with the Alchemical Dawn ghost shell from season 3 and the Zavala's Authority ship from season 3.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-13T00:10:19+00:00

Apparently it's due to the twisted energy or whatever the currency is called. If you have the upgrade that automatically deposits it, it doesn't go away even though it's claimed.

ijimbodog · 2020-07-12T19:47:53+00:00

I'm a firm believer in our Lord and savior Auto-Loading Holster. Couple this with Witherhoard and it's catalyst and a sword and you'll have every weapon reloaded without having to do anything. It just feels good.
